A cousin material to nephrite jade that's invariably found in association with it, serpentine is actually a whole family of minerals that often occur in a blend with each other, resulting in examples with a wide range of patterns and colours. Many of these examples are quite attractive and suitable for the crafting of inexpensive jewellery, such as this small pebble-form pendant.
 
Measuring in at 48mm long and 37mm wide, this is an inexpensive piece suited to everyday wear for a wearer of any size. It's the kind of piece that makes an excellent gift for a child, or for someone's first gemstone necklace.
